    Digital design tools and technologies provide important contributions to architects in the process of creating new design models. Models designed with these technologies can be prepared in many alternatives, the best/optimized can be easily selected and rapidly prototyped. In this way, predictable results can be obtained in the early stages of design and revision of design models can be provided. Also, to be able to predict the effect of the material as a design input both with simulations and productions is also an important contribution of computational design and manufacturing techniques. In this context, the students will be introduced to analog and digital design tools, through which the students will acquire the computational design thinking principle during the semester. In this process, students will learn to facilitate production techniques by calculating the changes in parametric design with the contribution of digital platforms. During this semester, students will study molding techniques by experimenting with digital design tools (Grasshopper) and digital manufacturing techniques (laser cutter/ 3D printer). They are expected to design “small objects” with these techniques.
